SUMMARY A simple resistive heating electrode has been designed for use in metallic replication procedures. These electrodes are relatively small, reliable, adaptable to most vacuum systems, and are compatible with ultra‐high vacuums. They are easily aligned, have good electrical conductivity and adjustable tensions. Using these electrodes with full wave rectified a.c, we found reduced specimen heating, lower background granularity, and improved resolution compared to commercially available designs.
